• Performance rating and rating disclosure -- Commercial
building
– Provides incentives for building owners to invest in
energy efficiency. Provides incentives for potential
tenant to demand performance improvement.

Information
• Building Information Management systems
– Allow managers of commercial building to understand
and control their energy use
17
Nudges
• Electricity Use Comparison with Other Homes; approval or
disapproval symbols (e.g. smiles, frowns), motivate people
to use less electricity (e.g. Opower or Tendril)
19
Smart Meters (Not just to not hire meter readers)
• Energy use disaggregation
• Segmentation of customers for Demand Side
Management (DSM)
• Linked to games
• Feedback potential
20
Energy Disaggregation
Disaggregation allows us to take a whole building
(aggregate) energy signal, and separate it into appliance
specific data (i.e., plug or end use data). A set of statistical
approaches are applied to accomplish this.

Pricing Strategies
• Tiered Pricing
– Theory: consumers respond to the marginal price
– Empirical evidence: consumers respond to the size of
their bill, but not to the marginal price (Ito)
• Time varying pricing
– Time of use: consumers can adjust their habitual
activities to adjust to different pricing. Example –
charging of electric vehicles
– Critical peak pricing: Alerts to consumers so they can
adjust next day’s activities
– Real time pricing: Too data intense for non-automated
responses. But with information, automatic control,
possibly can create responses.
